Do you think that's a strong analogy...? Are your kids paying the mortgage? Is there major prize money in the egg and spoon race? If so, put my name down!

I'm not massively in favour of moving stadium, some of it is heart over head stuff because I love Goodison. But whether we can actually afford this stadium is a big question and a fair question.
If we go down and have all these stadium costs then I have no idea how we can remain competitive and try and get out of the championship. If we stay up, then where is the money to overhaul this unbalanced and sub-standard squad. Without structural changes at the top of the club and an overhaul of the squad, even if we are lucky enough to stay up on Sunday, it will still happen sooner rather than later.
I know....Tom it's humour...
It can only benefit us if Moshiri has gone, there has been no evidence over the last 6 or so years that he can run a football clubTalking about how we should have stayed at Goodison or we'd be better off if we did is all a waste of time. What does it matter now? The stadiums more that half complete.
We should be focusing on the future and how the stadium can benefit us and help us rather than bemoaning the fact we didn't stay.
Even if Sunday doesn't work out, I'm more confident with a new Everton at Bramley Moore Dock than a championship side at an old ground with no future infront of us.
No again another one quoting something I never said, above anything we’re a football team so be nice to have that right first wouldn’t it the actual football side of things. A new ground isn’t going to turn Keane into Maldini is it?So....... We should put the new stadium on hold until we see some nice football at Goodison?
Odd.
Let’s hope the people running us utilise that.What the new stadium does give us is new opportunities and will open new doors that don't exist at Goodison
Top post. Very well put. We can't go back in time and redevelop Goodison from the 1990's and we can't move into the King's Dock 20 odd years ago (more's the pity). We are where we are. The only glimmer of hope we have is that someone out there spots our potential and likes the look of our new stadium, to boot.Yep my kids pay the mortgage, so it's an effing amazing analogy.
Seriously though, Tom, look we all get you wanted us to stay at Goodison until there was one brick standing due to lack of redevelopment options, you have told us enough in the New Stadium discussion thread.
I prefer more of risk / reward strategy now however, this current 'let's live in the 70's and wait for something to happen' is tiresome now for me, its do or die.
I feel we NEED this new stadium to have any chance of progressing, so as you put it....
"In my opinion, the whole future of our club has been wildly gambled with. Let's hope it pays off." - Yep, sign me up for that please. Let's hope MSP / future investors help us to achieve that with the risk mitigated.
No, but staying at Goodison won't improve any of them, either?No again another one quoting something I never said, above anything we’re a football team so be nice to have that right first wouldn’t it the actual football side of things. A new ground isn’t going to turn Keane into Maldini is it?
Yes I agree we have needed a new ground for years, let’s hope you’re right and it gets used right in a commercial aspect by the clowns running us hopefully this new group know what they’re doing.No, but staying at Goodison won't improve any of them, either?
Goodison = a tip. A relic of long faded glories. Doesn't impress any potential signing.
Bramley More gives the club a chance to elevate our profile and therefore work as a driver to improve most the areas you mention.
Let’s hope the people running us utilise that.

So? So what?There is no stadium without Moshiri. There is no evidence from the previous 20yrs that any stadium could be delivered by the previous majority shareholder.
So? So what?
There is also no back to back relegation fights, no FFP, no big Sam, no Rafael....etc
